Intuition and the Creation of a Better World

Burns, James MacGregor

I mean by leadership not only the transactional leaders who thrive on bargaining, accommodating, and manipulating within a given system, but the transforming leaders who respond to fundamental human needs and wants, hopes and expectations, and who may transcend and even seek to reconstruct the political system rather than simply to operate within it.
